Summary:

Zip code 96101 has five schools—one elementary, one middle, two high schools and one alternative school—serving students from elementary through high school. Four schools have numeric 2025–26 results in all three tested subjects; among them, results vary widely. Shasta View Academy scored 58% in English language arts (ELA) and 42% in science, compared with state results of 49% and 36%; its 38% math result was about 1 percentage point below the state’s 38%. The most important distinction is that Shasta View is the only school above the state in two subjects, ELA and science.

Shasta View Academy leads the other three schools with numeric results by 27 percentage points in ELA, 18 in math and 22 in science. Its advantage also appears in shared grades: it was 27 points above Modoc Middle in grade-7 math and 41 points above Modoc High in grade-11 ELA. At the lower end, Alturas Elementary had the lowest ELA result, 26%, 16 points below the other three schools’ average of 42%. Modoc Middle had the lowest math and science results, 15% in each—12 points below the other schools’ average in math and 15 points below in science.

As a group, the four schools’ average results fell from 2024–25 to 2025–26 by 5 points in ELA, 3 in math and 4 in science; their gaps from the state widened by 6, 4 and 7 points, respectively. All four schools’ results declined in each subject except for a small math increase of less than 1 point at Shasta View. SchoolDigger’s statewide rank percentile also fell between 2023–24 and 2025–26 for Alturas (34 to 20), Modoc High (39 to 35) and Modoc Middle (22 to 17). School context varies: Shasta View’s student–teacher ratio is 19.8, compared with 16.6 at Modoc Middle, and their free/reduced lunch eligible shares for 2024–25 were 46% and 66%, respectively; these figures do not show a simple pattern with test results. Modoc High combines a 92% graduation rate with 20% chronic absenteeism, above the state’s 18%. Warner High has no numeric 2025–26 ELA or math result, and its science result is suppressed, so current proficiency cannot be compared.
